This is the second time I’ve purchased this merino hoody. I grew out of the last one, so I got it in a larger size. I like to wear this as my second mid-layer, over the top of a Uniqlo cashmere sweater. The combo work well together, super light weight, gentle against the skin and very warm. I prefer to go with these two light weight mid-layers rather than one heavier weight mid-layer to give you the option of taking one off. My last one was a women’s medium, which fits me well for a singular mid-layer, but to fit the cashmere sweater underneath, I went for the men’s medium. I choose the men’s instead of the women’s so that there is a little bit of extra room in the shoulders and arms. I often find women’s jackets a bit snug around my upper arms. I love this jacket, worth the money if you’re looking for a good quality, comfortable, light weight and warm mid-layer. Also, these guys were super quick in getting my gear delivered to me!
